AI Predicts Whisky Aromas and Origins with Over 90 Percent Accuracy
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging have successfully demonstrated how AI can identify the aromas and origins of whiskies with remarkable accuracy. By analysing the chemical compositions of 16 US and Scottish whiskies, the AI achieved over 90% accuracy in distinguishing between the two, surpassing human exp...

NASA's Hubble and Chandra Telescopes Spot Strange Tilted Black Hole
NASA’s Hubble and Chandra telescopes have uncovered a bizarre sideways black hole in the galaxy NGC 5084, located 80 million light-years away. The black hole’s unexpected tilt suggests it may have been influenced by a violent galactic collision. A new image processing technique, SAUNAS, revealed X-ray plumes in the galaxy, hinting at a cosmic e...

Study Explores Sun’s Magnetic Field Changes and Solar Wind Acceleration
A study published in The Astrophysical Journal has shed light on how the Sun’s magnetic field influences solar wind acceleration. Using data from the Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter, researchers observed that sharp magnetic switchbacks smooth out into gentler waves as they travel further from the Sun. This relaxation process transfers magnet...

New Study Challenges Presence of Intermediate-Mass Black Hole in Omega Centauri
Research published in Astronomy & Astrophysics revises earlier claims of an intermediate-mass black hole in Omega Centauri. Observed stellar velocities in the dense star cluster are now attributed to stellar-mass black holes. Pulsar data enabled scientists to refine their methods for detecting gravitational fields, offering deeper insights into the...

Anthropic Study Highlights AI Models Can ‘Pretend’ to Have Different Views During Training
Anthropic published a new study where it found that artificial intelligence (AI) models can pretend to hold different views during training while holding onto their original preferences. On Wednesday, the AI firm highlighted that such inclinations raise serious concerns as developers will not be able to trust the outcomes of safety training, which ...

Apple Partners With Nvidia to Improve Performance Speed of Its AI Models
Apple is partnering with Nvidia in an effort to improve the performance speed of artificial intelligence (AI) models. On Wednesday, the Cupertino-based tech giant announced that it has been researching inference acceleration on Nvidia’s platform to see whether both the efficiency and latency of a large language model (LLM) can be improved simulta...

New Study Reveals Incredible Microbial Life Deep Under Earth’s Surface
A groundbreaking study published in Science Advances has revealed the extensive microbial life thriving beneath Earth's surface. The research led by Emil Ruff uncovers diverse ecosystems at depths of up to 4,375 metres, challenging previous assumptions about energy limitations in deep environments. It also suggests that Earth's subsurface microbes ...

TRAPPIST-1b Could Have Carbon Dioxide-Rich Atmosphere, Study Reveals
A new study published in Nature Astronomy proposes that TRAPPIST-1b, the innermost planet in the TRAPPIST-1 system, might have a carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere. This discovery comes from new data showing a reflective haze in the planet's upper atmosphere. Scientists are also investigating the possibility of volcanic activity based on the planet’s...

Scientists Develop New Approach to Capture Gravitational Wave Memory from Supernovae
A study published in Physical Review Letters highlights new methods to detect the gravitational wave memory effect, a unique phenomenon predicted by Einstein's general relativity. Core-collapse supernovae (massive stellar explosions) generate these low-frequency gravitational waves, offering a rare glimpse into stellar interiors. Despite their weak...

Meta’s Irish Arm Fined $264 Million by Watchdog Over Data Breach
Ireland’s data protection commission fined Meta Platforms Inc.’s Irish arm following two inquiries into a personal data breach. The breach was reported by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited in September 2018. It impacted data including full names, email addresses, phone numbers, posts on time lines and groups of which the user was a member,
